Two wines from O’Briens this week, both of which are in its French Wine Sale.
Touraine is in the Loire Valley and can be a source of great value wines. It won’t appear on the label, but sauvignon blanc is also used to make Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, two of the better-known names in the region. The Château La Rose du Pin is a classic Bordeaux blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon. It punches way above its weight and would make a nice addition to your next dinner party.
Château de Quincay Touraine Sauvignon
13% abv, €14.95 (down from €18.95)
Lightly aromatic with elegant green fruits, citrus zest and a nice long finish. Drink by itself, with fresh goat’s cheese or Asian seafood dishes.
